     Type:  defect            |     Status:  new
 Priority:  minor             |  Milestone:  7.2.1
Component:  Packaging         |    Version:  unspecified
 Keywords:  g.search.modules  |        CPU:  Unspecified
 Platform:  Unspecified       |
------------------------------+-------------------------
 In distributions like !Debian/Ubuntu GRASS is split into more packages
 like `grass-core` and `grass-gui`. Currently G72:g.search.modules (shifted
 by `grass-core`) depends on XML (gui/wxpython/xml/module_items.xml) which
 is shifted by `grass-gui` package.

 Currently the command fails (no `grass-gui` package not installed).

 {{{
 RASS 7.2.0 (landsat):~ > g.search.modules buffer
 Traceback (most recent call last):

 }}}

 Solution: GUI XML files could be moved to 'etc' directory.
